@arbitorian The @Leadbeltgaming Arena is a wonderful little local store in the city centre with plenty of space for gaming- We’re having a great time playtesting a homebrew rank and flank game today to shelter from the old world crush!

So, let's talk Ushoran. From Lord of Masks to Summerking.

Today I want to ramble on about a character that has grown on me for the last year and a half, that otherwise I wouldn't have given much of a shit about beyond a cool model.

Here is the list of falcons sent by the Teutonic Order as diplomatic gifts in one year alone.

They sent a lot of falcons to Wenceslaus and his brother Sigismund due to the Order's friendly relationship with the House of Luxemburg.

Classic #Tau artwork just hits different.
S'till tempting to pick up some T'au minis, even all these years after their release in 3rd ed #warhammer40k.
I think its something their more modern interpretations have evolved from but have lost the essence of along the way.

Much like elephants and lions, horses too used to be everywhere.

Little wild horse I doodled late last night. It's meant to be Hippidion, a South American native equine that went extinct as recently as 11,000 years ago.
